		Fruit-eating bats are essential for dispersal of seeds in tropical forests, and nectar eating bats are necessary for the pollination of countless tropical plants.

	Fact Sheet on Bats (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		All of the bats that occur in Missouri are insectivorous.
		Gray bats and Indiana bats are threatened with extinction largely because of their habit of amassing in very large numbers (up to hundreds of thousands) in only a few caves.
		Killing the bats without stopping up their access holes may alleviate the problem for the time being, but the conditions that attracted the bats in the first place would still exist and other bats probably would use the site in the future.

	Northeastern Naturalist: Disturbance of roosting bats by woodpeckers and raccoons
		Bats such as evening bats (Nycticeius humeralis Rafinesque) and Indiana myotis (Myotis sodalis Miller and Allen) that typically roost in dead or dying trees may interact with a wide variety of other animals that use these same habitats.
		The bats frequently roosted under sloughing bark that was left loosely attached to the top of the snag after the original crown of the tree fell.
		Bats continued to exit the hollow until the raccoon blocked the entrance with its body-no bats emerged after the raccoon withdrew from the hollow.

	Evening Bat (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Range: The evening bat occurs locally throughout the eastern United States from central Pennsylvania and the southern Great Lakes, west to north-central Iowa, southeastern Nebraska, central Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas; it is much more widespread and common in the southern part of that range.
		The evening bat is essentially a summer resident, migrating southward in fall; there are apparently no winter records for the state.
		Conservation: Although the evening bat has adapted to some of the changes that humans have brought to the landscape, it is likely that the conversion of forested wetlands to agricultural use has resulted in a significant decrease in prime roosting and foraging habitat.

	Georgia Wildlife Web Site; mammals: Nycticeius humeralis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Evening Bats are a woodland species that roosts behind loose bark, in hollow trees, in clumps of Spanish moss, beneath palm fronds, under bridges, and in buildings.
		Evening Bats are known to share roosts with other species of bats, like the Big Brown Bat (Eptesicus fuscus) and the Brazilian Free-tailed Bat (Tadarida brasiliensis).
		Evening bats are smaller than the Big Brown Bat (Eptesicus fuscus), and can be distinguished from members of the genus Myotis by having a tragus that is blunt and curved forward, rather than long and pointed.

		Bats rely on a well-developed sonar system, emitting squeaks that are most often too high-pitched to be heard by humans.
		The newborn bats then either hang with other young at the roost site, or are carried clinging to the mother's stomach while she forages for insects.
		Outside Alaska where bat populations are much larger, their roosting caves are sources for nitrogen-rich guano which is marketed as commercial garden and lawn fertilizer.

		The bat house can be directly observed by carefully positioning yourself under the box and using a spotlight to inspect the interior.
		Bats will not fly as often during high winds, heavy rain, or during a full moon, when they can be seen by predators.
		Counting bats accurately during the dawn return is not possible since any count will likely be an exaggeration of how many animals are actually using the roost.

		Most bats in Oklahoma are about the size of a mouse and use their small teeth and weak jaws to grind up insects.
		Bats may not be able to live in your area due to heavy pesticide use, inadequate food supply or because they already have sufficient local roosts.

		This bat is called "free-tailed" because the end of the tail extends beyond the edge of the tail membrane.
		The free-tailed bat is the most abundant bat in Florida with very large colonies numbering from 50 to over 20,000 bats.
		Evening bat colonies are small in size and in many cases evening bats are found living among free-tail bat colonies.

		Given the right conditions, a quality constructed bat house installed where it receives plenty of sunshine within the proximity of surface water in a species' range, bats will discover a new house and a few bats will likely move in the first year and you should have plenty in the second season.
		Most bats breed in the fall and pups are born in spring or early summer.

		Two red bats (Lasiurus borealis) and five evening bats (Nycticeius humeralis), all females, have spent the cold months in warmth and comfort while awaiting the spring thaws.
		The red bats, being a solitary species, are each housed in separate cages, while the evening bats, being a colonial species, are housed together.
		Some evening bats are thought to migrate to warmer climates and remain active year round, while others in the northernmost parts of their range are believed to hibernate in buildings and under loose tree bark.

		Both bats are surprisingly small, but the evening bat is significantly smaller than the big brown, with a body the size of a large cicada.

	Bat Habitat
		Florida bats do not hibernate in caves during the winter like the bats up north, but they will lower their body temperature and heart rate and go into what is referred to as torpor to save energy on cold or rainy nights.
		Bat houses should be located at least ten foot above the ground (the higher the better) and should be exposed to sunlight much of the day.
		The most successful bat house in the world is located at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida (UF Bat House) and is now home to over 100,000 Florida bats.

		The insectivorous evening bat (Nycticeius humeralis) is a true forest-dwelling bat, abundant throughout the southeastern U.S. It does not roost in caves.
		Not only was this the first roost located in 24 years, it is also the first time a Wagner's bonneted bat has been reported in a bat house, which gives reason for optimism about the future of this species.
		An estimated 11 bonneted bats, including an albino, used the bat house last year, and now the Trokeys are testing three new houses, each with a different chamber spacing, to determine if these bats have a preference.
